Car 'fit for a king' auctioned after barn find
An "extraordinarily rare" vintage car with potential royal connections has been discovered in a barn in Warwickshire. According to classic car auctioneers Humbert & Ellis, the 1952 Daimler DE 36 limousine was found in "good, dry order", but "deserved to be brought back to top-drawer condition". The firm said the vehicle was hand built by Daimler in 1951, with coachwork by Hooper & Co, based in London. The auctioneers added their research suggested possibly only two were made, with the other having been built for King George VI. The car was delivered new to Birmingham City Council for use as a mayoral car and remained in civic use until 1961, Humbert & Ellis said. It was then sold to the Birmingham Co-operative Society before being bought by a private owner. The build used a 1930s design, and was likely to have taken more than a year, the firm said. It has a 5.4 litre, straight-eight petrol engine, and cost £6,137 when delivered. It has a glass partition, walnut interior and additional fold-down seats and plush upholstery. Auctioneer Jonathan Humbert said it was a "highly rare and quintessentially British car". He added: "Having been hand built some 73 years ago, the car, although in good, dry order, is ripe for full recommissioning and deserves to be brought back to top-drawer condition as befits such a rare British beauty." He added it would be great if it could remain in Birmingham. The auction closes to bids on Monday. Follow BBC Coventry & Warwickshire on BBC Sounds, Facebook, X and Instagram.

'We've tried to cut costs where we can'
A couple whose company sells car cleaning products around the world say the last 18 months have been the hardest of their 20 years in business. Autobrite Direct, based at Festival Park in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, was set up by husband and wife Mark and Jill Moss in their garage in 2005. Despite experiencing huge growth from humble beginnings, the increased cost of living has forced them to adapt. "We've moved into manufacturing now, we've tried to cut costs where we can. We'll be alright, but it's not nice," Mrs Moss said. "We're lucky we've got a brand that's been established for 20 years," she added. When they set up the firm, Mark had been cleaning lorries for a living, but needed to take on something less strenuous after injuring his back. "Me and Mark are just dead normal people," Mrs Moss said. "We go in the warehouse, we pack orders, we fill bottles." Despite that, they were "very proud" of what they had built together, she said. She added that they were also heavily involved in the firm's social media marketing, which has meant people got to know them as well as their products. Mr Moss said: "We are the business. We deal with a lot of the local community, we get to speak to a lot of people." Follow BBC Stoke & Staffordshire on BBC Sounds, Facebook, X and Instagram.
